Luo Rui hesitated for a moment, struggling in his mind whether to ask Qin Zijiao about it.

After hesitating, Li Shuo smiled and said, "What's wrong? I promise you, you really weren't embarrassed yesterday. Your wine is pretty good. Don't worry."

Luo Rui hesitated: "Oh, that's good... well, I seemed to be looking at an acquaintance last night."

"An acquaintance? Who is it?"

"That's right, didn't we meet anyone yesterday?"

"No, have you met anyone?"

"I, I'm not sure."

"Could it be that you encountered it when you were going to the toilet?"

"Ah, maybe..." Luo Rui became confused. Could it be that he was really thinking about something and started dreaming about it after drinking? It's not impossible. Since that day, his mind has been full of things all the time.

Qin Zijiao was prone to hallucinations after drinking too much, but he just didn't expect that he would have such real hallucinations.

How sad...

Li Shuo smiled and said: "Don't think too much, take a good rest."

"good."

After hanging up the phone, Luo Rui finished his breakfast in a dull manner. After cleaning up the kitchen, he suddenly remembered something and went to find his mobile phone. He looked through last night's call records and found only one call from Yaoyao at around nine o'clock.

Nothing else. If Qin Zijiao really wanted to find him, he wouldn't be able to find him without making a phone call.

He put down the phone dejectedly and rubbed his head vigorously.

Luo Rui, can you be of some use?

After that day, Luo Rui always held a little expectation in his heart, but as time went by, Qin Zijiao seemed to have completely disappeared from his life, and that little expectation eventually turned into deeper disappointment and sadness.

He had thought more than once about whether to go find Qin Zijiao, even just to take a look from a distance, but in the end he still didn't have the courage to go.

He always thought of Wen Xiaohui. Wen Xiaohui had just arrived in the United States. He called him on the ocean phone every now and then to chat with him. He never said how difficult it was for him to be in a strange place where he didn't understand the language, but he repeatedly told him to take care of himself. He just thought that there was someone

He was so kind to him, so he couldn't do anything wrong to himself, so even if the thought of finding Qin Zijiao came up eight hundred times a day, he suppressed it forcefully.

Slowly, he felt that he was getting better. At least he no longer cried every day, and Qin Zijiao was no longer on his mind 24 hours a day. He often researched new desserts until late at night, filling his mind with endless work. Shop

The girls there all stayed with him, comforted him, and tried their best to make him laugh. He realized that he shouldn't take his broken love too seriously. He still had so many people who were good to him and things worth being happy about.

Unconsciously, autumn has already arrived. After the freshmen started school, Luo Rui specially launched some affordable desserts suitable for takeout. Every day after school, there would be a long queue in front of his store.

On this day, the store was doing a discount event, and there were especially many people. The queue took up almost half of the street, and Luo Rui was helping to pack.

Suddenly, his cell phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Li Shuo calling: "Hello, Brother Li."

Li Shuo's laughter came from the phone: "Luo Rui, is your store offering free delivery today? Why are there so many people?"

"Haha, we have a discount today, buy one get one free, so there are a lot of people, where are you?"

"I happened to drive by and saw it. Are you free tonight? Can I treat you to a meal?"

"Okay, but it might be a little later. I'm not finished yet."

Li Shuo smiled: "How about I bring a friend to help."

"Ah? No, no, no, we can handle it." Asking someone of Li Shuo's stature to help him pack, the money he makes in a day is not enough to cover the labor costs.

"It doesn't matter. My friend and I were planning to play squash. This sport seems to be more fun than squash. If you feel bad about it, you can treat us tonight."

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Luo Rui had to agree. Li Shuo is really a gentle and kind person, no wonder Wen Xiaohui has such a good impression of him.

After a while, Li Shuo walked in with a man. The man had good features, a tall and thin figure, and was quite masculine. If he wasn't standing next to Li Shuo, he would be a handsome and handsome man.

"Brother Li." Luo Rui ran over sweating profusely: "I'm sorry, it's too crowded here."

Li Shuo smiled and said, "Look how busy you are. Business is so good and there are so many beautiful girls in the store that the whole street is jealous."

Luo Rui laughed and said, "What's there to be jealous about? These little girls are really good at bullying."

"Let me introduce you." Li Shuo said, "This is my friend, Cheng Sheng, Cheng Sheng. Have you ever heard of this store? This is the boss, his name is Luo Rui."

Cheng Sheng smiled and stretched out his hand: "Hello, many people have recommended this store to me. In fact, our company has approached you before and wanted to invest, but you refused."

Luo Rui shook hands with him: "Ah, really, which company is it?"

"xx investment."

"Oh, I seem to have an impression." Luo Rui said sheepishly: "I just want to open a small store and ensure the quality. I don't want to be too busy or tired."

"I understand that it is precisely because of this attitude that your products are done so well and your reputation is so great. Although as an investor, I feel it is a pity, but I also appreciate your decision."

Luo Rui thought to himself, he is indeed Li Shuo's friend, he is really cool.

Li Shuo said: "Hey, let's go help and save ourselves an exercise."

Cheng Sheng rolled up his sleeves: "No problem."

Luo Rui said hurriedly: "Are you serious? Let's forget it. You go to the office and sit for a while. I'll leave when I'm done."

Li Shuo rubbed his curly hair: "It's here now. Please relax. We also want to go to dinner early."

The two of them actually went over to help pack it, and the girls in the store were obviously a little excited.

Luo Rui was also very happy. They were talking and laughing, and everyone was very energetic.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer desserts prepared today, Luo Rui quietly asked Aran to save some and planned to take them back to Li Shuo and Cheng Sheng.

Cheng Sheng walked up to Luo Rui, lowered his head and said in Luo Rui's ear: "I have a bit of an occupational disease. I just quietly calculated that your net profit today may not cover the cost."

Luo Rui chuckled: "How did you calculate it? I can't even calculate it."

Cheng Sheng looked at him in surprise: "You don't count? How dare you do promotional activities if you don't count?"

"I feel... it's about the same. I shouldn't be compensated. Because my desserts are not cheap, and students nearby like them very much. Sometimes I save money to buy them, so I just want to give back."

Cheng Sheng smiled helplessly: "The materials may not be compensated, but labor is also a cost. It's the first time I've seen you doing business like this, and you can do it so well. I really don't know whether I should praise you or not."

Luo Rui smiled and said: "I don't really care about profits, as long as I make a profit."

"I admire your openness." Cheng Sheng gave him a thumbs up.

The two looked at each other and smiled. Cheng Sheng looked at Luo Rui with bright eyes. Luo Rui sensitively noticed something and lowered his head shyly.

In the end, almost all the items were sold out, and the people in line gradually dispersed. Everyone was so tired that the soles of their feet ached, so they all took a rest.

At this time, the store door was pushed open again, and Luo Rui said: "I'm sorry today is..." He was stunned before he finished speaking.

The man in front of him, wearing a long black trench coat and looking as cold as a sculpture, is Qin Zijiao, whom he has not seen for a long time.

Luo Rui couldn't help but look at the black car that had been parked on the street. He was very familiar with that car. He had ridden in it many times, but he thought it was the same model. At this time, the crowd dispersed. He took a closer look and saw that the license plate number was

He was also familiar with it. He suddenly remembered that the car seemed to have stopped on the side of the road before Li Shuo arrived. How long had it been parked?

There are no customers in the store anymore, the only ones left are clerks. Except for Cheng Sheng, everyone here knows Qin Zijiao.

Li Shuo smiled and looked at him with interest.

Luo Rui froze on the spot at a loss. The person he had thought about for almost two months was right in front of him, but he didn't even have the courage to take a closer look. Why, why did Qin Zijiao appear here? Why did he have to wait until he was already gradually

When he calms down, do you come out to stimulate him again?

Aran stood in front of Qin Zijiao and said rudely: "Sorry, guest, everything is basically sold out, we are closing."

"Pack the rest for me, I want them all." Although Qin Zijiao was speaking to her, his eyes were always on Luo Rui.

"The rest is stale."

Qin Zijiao finally lowered his head and looked at her: "I said, I want both."

Aran swallowed and seemed a little scared. She pursed her lips and said, "I'm sorry, our store has principles and we don't sell stale things."

Cheng Sheng stood up from his seat. He sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere. He glanced at the audience with doubtful eyes. It was obvious that he was the only one who didn't know what was going on.

Qin Zijiao looked at Cheng Sheng, anger bursting out of his eyes, and Cheng Sheng frowned.

Luo Rui lowered his head and pinched himself secretly: "Aran, I still have some in my office, give it to him."

"boss!"

"Give it to him." Luo Rui whispered.

Aran threw off his apron angrily and rushed into the office.

Li Shuo smiled and said: "Luo Rui, let's go. I have to arrive at the reserved seat before seven o'clock. You can have a good chat with Cheng Sheng in the car. This business is not charity after all. Some things are still

If you want to learn, come here." Li Shuo held Luo Rui's back and led him out.

Qin Zijiao grabbed Luo Rui's arm. Luo Rui's heart trembled and his body suddenly froze. He felt that Qin Zijiao's hand holding his arm seemed to be burning.

Li Shuo narrowed his eyes.

"Yao Yao is going to have leg surgery next week. She is in the hospital now. If you have time, go and see her."

Luo Rui stood there helplessly.

Aran took out the cake and put it on the cashier counter angrily: "268, pay."

Luo Rui could feel Qin Zijiao's hands shaking a little, but he finally let go and went to the cashier to settle the bill.
